I decided to take a night off from the world of horror and
movies last night to attend an auction. Now that we have a new booth at Dusty’s,
it is time to replenish stock. Unfortunately, we did not find much, although, I
did pick up some pieces for some projects. Tonight, I decided to watch Dark Tower
from 1987.
When I saw this on Netflix, I was having a hard time placing
it in my mind. As a youth, I watched horror all the time, and still could not
place it. After watching it, I understand why I did not remember it. There was
nothing to it that would make it stand out, nothing memorable. While the cast
was solid and their performances were good, there was no excitement or
atmosphere to develop anything with this grouping. This film lacked imagination
and felt dry and forced. Honestly, there was nothing there other than beautiful
cinematography of Barcelona
and slow, arid storyline that drug too long. In the end, this one was a slow
and painful watch and one that I would not recommend to anyone.
